Monday, Monday, da da, it's a new theme!

I hope you're hearing the Mamas and Papas song right now because that's what I was thinking when I wrote the title! OK my little band of faithful journalers, I know that Peggy andOphelia have posted their words to live by on their blogs. Thanks for sharing!

This week we are all going to be busy getting ready for Thanksgiving and family visits. Let's try to carve out some time ( holiday pun!) to work in our journals. In the midst of being bombarded with bad news and uncertainty we can all take a little time to COUNT OUR BLESSINGS!

Write or draw or collage the things that you love in your life! What is your cup overflowing with?

What do your family and friends bring to your life? What keeps you going during tough times?

What everyday experiences fill you with joy when you stop and pay attention?

I hope you all have a fabulous holiday weekend and enjoy the people you are celebrating with.

Hi Jennifer.... I love this page and the theme. I have posted pictures of my finished entry on my blog. Oh, how I wish we lived closer...you just have the greatest pages and awesome ideas. Maybe one day, our paths will cross...until then though (cyber sister) keep creating!!Ophelia

About Me

I have a degree in Child Development and have been teaching for 25 years. Most of these years have been spent with second graders with the exception of 4 years in first grade. I love introducing my students to the joy of reading "chapter books" and the language of literature.
I am a mixed-media artist and am lucky to be teaching at a fine arts magnet school. I use music and visual art every day in my classroom.
I have been married for 29 years and my husband teaches High School English. I have raised 4 wonderful kids and am still working on the yellow labs that live in our house.
